Living room reno- deconstruct and rebuild

There is progress in a subtle way today- lots of things that are not super noticeable, but take up a lot of time!

My artistic contribution

Here are the pictoral viewpoints again, and this time I did get them all in. :) The drywall around the window is gone and that wall is insulated. The rest of the walls have 2 x 4's in them that weren't there yesterday! I am assuming that is a good thing! :)

Today the electrician comes to make sense out of the wiring and put in some new outlets and the center ceiling fan and light! It occurred to me yesterday that I am going to need a place to do some quick painting and staining/finishing and I have gotten the go ahead from my friend the woods teacher at school to use the spray booth! PERFECT! So I have a place to paint the metal for the furnace thingies and also finish the trim boards- it is always easier to do that before they are cut and put in place!

So there isn't a real lot to report today- other than I do long for the tv and listening to Justin on the channel 9 morning show, and of course I am going to miss Project Runway tomorrow night, which is just about killing me...... boooooooo. Oh well. I'm barely home anyway.

I simply can NOT wait for the arch to be revealed!!! It is going to wreak a little havoc in the kitchen, though.

When I get home tonight, I am expecting I will be seeing a bunch of new electrical wires and such- and a box for the new fan and lights and some outlets at least roughed into the walls. This is will be cool, because then things like DRYWALL can go in! I really do need to consider what color paint I am going to put on, because I imagine I will be painting here in a week or so--- because I don't have enough to do. Lol.

Did I mention I have a play that I am involved in?

Until next time- hang on tight, the ride is heading down the first hill even faster! Let the screaming commence.... and find your joy in the rush of it all!
